Being made redundant can be scary and stressful, but it doesn’t mean that your career is over for good. By following a few simple steps, you can prepare for redundancy and make sure that you come out on top. You may even emerge with an opportunity that you may not have otherwise pursued.
Firstly ensure that you confirm all of your redundancy entitlements such as notice period, redundancy package and whether or not you will receive any support in finding a new role. Speak with your employer and study your contract in detail to ensure everything is covered. Do your research into the job market to find out exactly what you can achieve with a new employer learning which of your skills are the most in-demand and who is hiring for them.

Refresh your CV with all of the skills and experience from your current job and promote yourself tirelessly on the job market to ensure you reach maximum opportunities. Use the job boards, CV databases and recruitment agencies to ensure you cover all bases. Interviews are the final hurdle so make sure you practice the most common questions and learn how to sell your skills.
